What Is Ancestral Supplements?
Ancestral Supplements is the brainchild of Brian Johnson, also known as the “Liver King,” and his wife, also known as the “Biological Dentist.”
What started as a lifestyle change eventually blossomed into a one-of-a-kind supplement company that utilizes a variety of animal organs. Essentially, Johnson believes in putting in what the modern world has removed over the years.
Back to Basics
Their journey began when their children started to experience a wide range of allergies, their immune system seemed to be reacting to everything. After seeking help from many specialists, they decided to turn to a personalized healthy diet based on what our ancestors used to eat.
In those days, our ancestors’ diet was organic, pasture-raised, and wild-caught nose-to-tail foods, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.
Soon, their children saw the results the Liver King and his wife were searching for. Eventually, there was no more sickness, no more doctor visits, and better overall mental, physical, and emotional health.
The Johnson family, or “The Johnson Tribe,” took their experience and made it available to anyone and everyone. They saw how animal organs and a carnivore diet could help transform their lives, so they transformed it into a supplement form.
Ancestral products come in capsule form and are 100% freeze-dried animal organs. The process ensures you receive all nutrients and that they are not damaged.
This company also fits a wide range of diets, whether you follow the keto diet or the paleo diet, the Ancestral Supplements’ products might be the right choice for you.
Nine Foundations
Ancestral Supplements claims to be motivated by transparency. In his website, the “Liver King” not only details how the company came to be but describes his family’s entire philosophy and lifestyle.
If you were looking for more than just a product, then taking Ancestral can completely reshape your daily habits and routine. Keep in mind that these are not medical or scientific facts, but rather a collection of lifestyle recommendations.
You could also follow his lifestyle, which is broken down into nine pillars:
1. Sleep Like a Rock
Without a good night’s sleep, your body will not have the proper time it needs to heal and restore. Some of the advice that Johnson gives is not eating for at least 3-4 hours before bed and getting a dose of sunshine after waking up.
2. Eat As Our Ancestors Did
Although we have covered this, you should that ancestral living can prove extremely vital to our health. Following a ketogenic lifestyle, at least periodically throughout the year, is recommended.
3. Move As Our Ancestors Did
We used to be hunters and gatherers with very active lifestyles, but that is not always the case anymore. Doing more exercise and moving more, not only improves energy levels but also provides amazing benefits for your overall well-being.
4. Avoiding Dangers As Our Ancestors Did
Our ancestors were not as exposed to as many dangers as we are today. Technology, trans fats, sugars, allergens, non-native clothing and bedding, pollution, illnesses, and more, will contribute to health concerns. Instead, proper detoxing can help.
5. Connecting to the Earth
The Earth, and the air we breathe, is our home. Removing some material things from our daily lives can be part of the ancestral lifestyle. With that in mind, Liver King says that walking on fertilized grounds without shoes can have many benefits.
6. Getting Cold
Although most of us avoid being cold at all costs, our ancestors did not have that luxury. In some cases, being cold could actually make you stronger, improve blood circulation, and boost your immune system. Always take these recommendations with a grain of salt, as not everyone can or should withstand the cold.
7. Fat-Soluble Activators, Sensible Sun Exposure, and Magnesium
The Liver King states that consuming the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K is key for your overall health. These vitamins are essential for metabolic processes, like the absorption of zinc or magnesium. In fact, they can improve immune health, help you get a healthy vision, support gut health, and keep your teeth strong.
8. Challenge Yourself
Our ancestors had to become resilient and overcome many challenges and hardships. Most children these days do not face these same difficulties, which is why it is important to teach our youth to take risks and challenge themselves daily too.
9. Tribal Bonding
Everything our ancestors did in the past used to be for the greater good of their tribe. Hunters searched for food, others protected the tribe from dangers, and others gathered resources. However, we need more of that today!
Nose-To-Tail Products
Of course, this company does not sell life consulting services, this is just some of the free information they give out. However, the heart of Ancestral Supplements centers around their line of nose-to-tail supplements.
When they say nose-to-tail eating, they are referring to the fact that the whole animal is utilized. Most of our diets will leave out the organ meat of the animal. Think about it, when was the last time you ate beef liver or beef organs instead of tenderloin?
Since they use parts of the animal most supplement companies will neglect, their line of products is very unique.
